Wow!! I relate to that on a very, very deep level. I’m about to have my 4th baby and know that this issue will get worse before it gets better. Although I LOVE to nurse my babies, by the end of the day, it does leave me feeling “all touched out”!!! I guess “personal space” is just one other thing that is depleted in the life of a mom. I sure enjoy your humorous outlook on life!!

I *feel* your pain! I think I can one up you though… Today while I was taking my personal potty break with my 18 month old twins, each with a hand on my knees, and my 3 year old holding the door open (so I ‘don’t get in trouble in there’) in walks my husband to discuss what else we’re doing today. Um, hello! Peeing here!

Thankfully I got this while The Biscuit was still nursing. It was hard to explain to my husband though; I think your explanation to DYD was great. Now that The Biscuit is all weaned it is a bit better, but being in the 7th month of pregnancy is adding its own issues. At least we have made a conscious effort to connect as a married couple when we know stressful times are coming (as in before we went to the hospital for The B’s last surgery). We are making plans now for what to do in March so that it doesn’t vanish before I go in for my c-section in April. Whee!

Oh, one of the things that helped was realizing that The B needed less touching from me if he got a lot from Dad. So, they have their time when Dad gets home from work (which means I get some me time).
